GeForce GTX TITAN X: Overview| Specification |Is it Good for Gaming? (7000 MHz & 250 W) – NVIDIA does not deviate from the traditions that have been formed over the years so often. So in 2015, according to the established spring tradition, the “greens” present a new single-chip flagship in the face of GeForce GTX TITAN X. At the beginning of the summer of 2015, this is the most powerful video card in the world based on a single GPU.
Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X – The Best Video Card on the Market?
The new graphics adapter is the fourth in a row in the Titans lineup and, logically, replaces the GTX TITAN Black. At the heart of the novelty lies the graphics core marked GM200, created on the second-generation Maxwell microarchitecture. In terms of basic characteristics, the GM200 is a one and a half times “expanded” GM204 core, on which the recent single-chip flagship GeForce GTX 980 is based. More precisely, the number of CUDA cores, ROPs and TMUs, as well as the cache size is increased by one and a half times. Let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of these two video cards.
GeForce GTX TITAN X: Specification
| Details | GeForce GTX TITAN X | GeForce GTX 980 |
| Chip code name | GM200 | GM204 |
| Architecture | Maxwell 2.0 | Maxwell 2.0 |
| Technical process | 28 nm | 28nm |
| Number of transistors | 8 billion | 5.2 billion |
| GPU clock frequency, MHz: base / Boost | 1000/1070 | 1126/1216 |
| Texture Units (TMU) | 192 | 128 |
| Universal Processors | 3072 | 2048 |
| Rasterization units (ROP) | 96 | 64 |
| Video memory type | GDDR5 | GDDR5 |
| Video memory size | 12 GB | 4 GB |
| Bus width, bit | 384 | 256 |
| Effective memory frequency | 7000 MHz | 7000 MHz |
| Interface | PCI-Express 3.0 | PCI-Express 3.0 |
| Power consumption | 250 W | 165 W |
The power consumption of the new flagship turned out to be noticeably higher than the power consumption of the GTX 980. Naturally, this is due to the higher performance of the TITAN X, which can reach 30% compared to the 980 model. The manufacturer recommends that the power supply for the system should be at least 600 watts.
Here, perhaps, you need to pay attention to the cooling system of the novelty. Namely, the fact that the GeForce GTX TITAN X will officially be supplied exclusively with a reference cooler, which should provide high performance at a low noise level.
When tested in the 3DMark 11 benchmark, the new product scores 22980 points. For comparison, the GTX 980 is 17980, and the TITAN Black is 15670, respectively. Let’s look at the test results in popular demanding games (average FPS
).
*Highest possible graphics quality
It is quite obvious that the new product supports all currently existing NVIDIA technologies – SLI®, G-Sync™, GameStream™, ShadowPlay™, 2.0 GPU Boost™, Dynamic Super Resolution, MFAA, GameWorks™, OpenGL 4.5. Microsoft DirectX 12 API is also supported, with a subsequent upgrade to 12.1.
The price for the model in question at the time of the start of sales was announced by the manufacturer in the amount of $999. Actually, this is the same amount as that of the “black Titan”. But if you pay attention to the enormously increased performance of the new video card in comparison with its predecessor, then NVIDIA again made a big and timely step forward.
GTX TITAN X | The Champ From 2015 Tested in 2021!
Testing 15 popular games on the Nvidia GeForce GTX TITAN X Maxwell graphics card in early 2021! Released 6 years ago in 2015 for 1000$, the Maxwell Titan X came with 12GB of Vram and 3072 CUDA cores which was more than enough to chew through all of the games at the time
